[12:46] We now [singing]
[12:49] have a chance to see
[12:52] the
[12:54] practice. [singing]
[12:59] We got to realize
[13:07] >> the inside
[13:09] that [singing] brings us to the other
[13:14] shore
[13:25] while practicing [singing]
[13:27] deeply with the inside that brings us to
[13:32] the other

[16:38] to
[16:45] practice the inside that brings us to
[16:50] the other [singing]
[16:53] no more obstacles in [singing] their

[44:50] ways to protect the lives of people and
[44:54] all other species.
[44:57] I vow not to kill,
[44:59] not to let others kill and not to
[45:03] condone any act of killing in the world
[45:06] by my way of thinking or by my way of
[45:09] life.

[46:10] energy with those who are in need.
[46:14] I vow not to steal and not to possess
[46:17] anything that should belong to my
[46:19] community or to anyone else.
[46:23] I shall respect the property of others,
[46:27] but I shall also prevent others from
[46:29] making profit from human suffering or
[46:33] the suffering of all other species.

[47:08] on protecting chastity.
[47:12] Aware that the aspiration of a monk or a
[47:15] nun can only be realized
[47:19] when I wholly leave behind the bondage
[47:22] of sexual desire.
[47:25] I vow to protect myself by the practice
[47:29] of chastity
[47:31] and to do all that I can to help others
[47:34] to protect themselves.
[47:38] I know that any sexual engagement will
[47:41] destroy my life as a monk or a nun, will
[47:45] damage the lives of others, and will
[47:48] also prevent me from realizing my ideal
[47:52] of serving all living beings.

[48:36] unmindful speech,
[48:38] I vow to cultivate right speech and deep
[48:42] listening in order to bring joy and
[48:45] happiness to others and relieve others
[48:49] of their suffering.
[48:52] Knowing that words can create happiness
[48:54] or suffering, I am determined to say
[48:58] things which can inspire
[49:00] self-confidence,
[49:02] peace, joy, and hope.
[49:07] I am determined to speak the truth in a
[49:10] way that brings about understanding and
[49:13] harmony.
[49:15] I vow not to say things which are untrue
[49:20] or that bring about division and hatred.
[49:24] I vow not to spread news which I do not
[49:27] know to be certain and not to criticize
[49:31] and condemn things of which I am not
[49:34] sure.
[49:35] I am determined to listen deeply with
[49:39] love and compassion in order to be able
[49:42] to understand the suffering and
[49:44] difficulties of others and to bring them
[49:47] comfort.
[49:49] I am determined not to say things that
[49:53] might bring about division or disharmony
[49:56] in my community of practice or that can
[50:00] cause the community to break.
[50:03] I am determined not to speak to anyone
[50:07] about the faults of another practice
[50:10] center or of any monk or nun in another
[50:14] sa even though I may think that these
[50:18] faults are real.

[50:59] that contain toxins.
[51:02] Aware of the suffering caused by the
[51:05] consumption of alcohol, drugs, and other
[51:09] intoxicants,
[51:11] I vow not to ingest foods and beverages
[51:14] which contain toxins
[51:17] and which deprive me of the control of
[51:19] my body and mind or bring about
[51:22] heaviness and ill-being in my body or my

[1:18:12] Dear community,
[1:18:15] dear SA, I would like to share a little
[1:18:18] bit of an encouraging words to the newly
[1:18:21] ordained noviceses.
[1:18:34] There are things that seem very normal
[1:18:36] but it is a very long process of uh
[1:18:41] progression
[1:18:42] and development.
[1:19:10] For example, all of us here are taking
[1:19:13] part in the ceremony
[1:19:16] uh novice ordination ceremony. We hear
[1:19:19] the chant of the sutras and we see a
[1:19:22] very beautiful and serene ceremony.
[1:19:25] But that is not just the fruit of today,
[1:19:28] but the fruit of more than 300 years ago
[1:19:31] from the tradition that has been passed
[1:19:33] down to us.
[1:19:45] Foreign
[1:19:51] speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
[1:20:20] Buddhism have been present in China
[1:20:24] since the first century AD.
[1:20:27] But it was after many years of practice
[1:20:31] and observation
[1:20:32] that we started to formulate the
[1:20:35] monastic community, the robes, the way
[1:20:39] of living, the way of eating, the way of
[1:20:42] uh ceremonies. And it took about 300
[1:20:45] years to formulate um from the first
[1:20:48] presence of Buddhism in China to
[1:20:50] formulate what we see, what we have now.
[1:21:18] and after formulating certain ceremonies
[1:21:21] and structure in the Buddhist community.
[1:21:26] um only then did the Zen masters and the
[1:21:29] teachers and practitioners start to
[1:21:31] formulate the concrete teachings and
[1:21:34] practices in the different schools. So
[1:21:37] it took about a total of another 300
[1:21:39] years to start proper teachings and
[1:21:42] courses. So in total about 600 years
[1:21:46] since the presence of Buddhism in China
[1:21:48] for it to be perfected.
[1:22:29] and bringing us to today
[1:22:32] uh in in this ceremony you have been
[1:22:35] able to receive so much love and so much
[1:22:38] perfection and Buddhism's presence in
[1:22:41] the United States and western lands is
[1:22:43] very new, fairly new. But what one of
[1:22:46] the gifts that you have received today
[1:22:48] is not only a ceremony full of beauty,
[1:22:51] serenity and peace, but also you re you
[1:22:55] are welcome into a community that is
[1:22:58] already have that already has the
[1:23:00] practice and teaching for you to receive
[1:23:04] to cultivate that peace, joy and love.
[1:23:07] And this is the greatest gift that you
[1:23:10] have been able to receive after many
[1:23:12] years of incubating
[1:23:16] and perfection. And you are able to join
[1:23:19] in the community today.
[1:23:43] Foreign
[1:23:56] speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
[1:24:12] And even the heart sutra that we have
[1:24:14] chanted with so much heroic energy, the
[1:24:17] strength and the energy behind the heart
[1:24:19] sutra has taken many forms and
[1:24:21] transformation and even translation
[1:24:25] and the ceremonies and the text and the
[1:24:27] practice that we have today has become
[1:24:29] very beautiful and perfected and the
[1:24:31] teachings that you have or received
[1:24:34] received and the community has developed
[1:24:38] greatly. And other than that, we have
[1:24:41] also um
[1:24:44] uh
[1:24:46] become very engaged in re leading
[1:24:49] retreats and events outside of our
[1:24:52] everyday practice. And this is a gift
[1:24:54] that Thai has offered us in the past 50
[1:24:57] years um in the west
[1:25:01] and most precious gift that we can
[1:25:03] receive today.
